We first met on OkCupid! and starting dating/talking online on July 15th, 2020. We bonded over common nerdy interests before having our first in-person date in August of that year.
Meghan started veterinary school that Fall and we enjoyed spending every Football Sunday together with the family (#FlyEaglesFly and #BillsMafia). Meghan officially moved to St. Kitts and Nevis to continue schooling for 2 years and so we did long-distance for 2 years, counting down the days to the holidays and when we could see each other in person again. 300+ days is a long time!
We got officially engaged on our 1 year anniversary when Meghan was home from school for a rare summer. The proposal was intimate, although changed details at the last minute thanks to Meghan's anxiety attacks. A book, a stuffed turtle, and a ring later and we were happily engaged and enjoying live music and good food. Shout out to the Ben-Cole Band!
We stayed on the island of St. Kitts for 2 weeks before the start of the new semester, planning engagement photos and officially announcing our relationship! Then another semester apart before spending the holidays together.
Gordon visited the island again for a week in the Spring of 2022, but Meghan officially moved home in December of 2022 for her clinical year. We made it long-distance through some very stressful times and here we are <3.
We moved to Madison, WI for Meghan to finish her clinical year at UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, and this was when we officially moved in together and we're still going strong! Gordon is working for an amazing company and we are enjoying our time in our new city.
